First, we need to find a solid Eiffel Tower model. In picture, i use Thingiverse to get the model i want. You can use other site like GrabCAD or you can make one by yourself.

An easy and fast way to slice the model is using 123D Make from Autodesk. And it's free :)

Download and install it. Then open the app and following pictures.

Now, let's open the .dxf file and add some stuff :)

1. Rearrange the layers

Before cutting, remember to offset the line first to be sure it's fit together when assemble. My (left) one was failed so i had to add some glue to it :D
